For the second time in a week, the Mariners surrendered a walk on just three balls. Bobby Abreu of the Angels reached first base after taking a third ball from Felix Hernandez in the third inning Sunday, official scorer Ed Munson confirmed. The Mariners lost their July 2 game to the Padres after Doug Fister walked Cameron Maybin on three balls. Maybin eventually scored the winning run in a 1-0 game. "That's happened twice," Hernandez said after Seattle lost 4-2. "Only to us." Abreu also thought he had taken four balls, only learning he got it wrong when he returned to the dugout. "I thought it was ball four, so I guess I got confused, too," Abreu said. "It's funny, and it's weird at the same time. You've got the professional umpires that know everything, and it still happened."
